[Q] bringing this phone GLOBALLY! - GT540 Optimus General

Good day guys!
I have this LG GT540(rooted to 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7 ROM by mur4ik) and have been used for more than a year and a months. I bought this unit here in the PHILIPPINES. My question is, can I use this phone in CANADA without undergoing with what they called an "OPEN-LINE" hardware solutions there, so that I could use any network there(SIM CARD) and would fit with the network systems in CANADA?
btw, I have a 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7 ROM and its good! thou it has a few lags and frequent restarts, whats the most stable and great Custom ROM for this unit for today?
Thanks for your responses! I'll Appreciate!

Should be able to, go do some research on that network and this phones radios. I dont think canada has such strict lock down of phones compared to the USA. I think the most important thing is to make sure the phone is unlocked (make sure its not carrier locked im sure its not) if its not locked then its good to go the SDSL and Tejas rebuild of Pcfighter .32 kernel rom is also good! Well they are all better then the one you are using and im sure of that.

Thanks for the help bs828!
Well, I bought this unit in a store branch here at the mall and I'm sure its not locked with the specific carrier or networks here and abroad. They say its Quadband, great thing!
I'm worried cause its in the NEW ROM,which is the 2.3.7 cynogenmod 7, NOT in the Original state of ROM in LG Platform, that would hinder or loose of a Quadband factor in this unit.. hope'll its not

na not likely

A sure way to download Google Maps is to use "Apk Downloader" and download Google Maps apk on your PC then install it on your phone (with root explorer or other file manager). Apk downloader and instructions are available at http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/

Android Market

Hi all,
Just got my unlocked HTC Magic yesterday. Purchased in Malaysia.
However, there is no access to android market (not installed on phone).
The gmail contact sync, google calander sync is also not there. anyone can help me with this?
You could always go here for your apps. Sorry can't help with the Google stuff.
Clinton
You could always try to follow one of the guides, and do a genaric reflash on the rom? Is yours a google, or htc? Easiest way to find out is to check the battery cover, if it says google or htc on it. From there, if what Clinton wrote doesn't work out, just find a guide in the development subforum, and go from there.
mine is the HTC branded one. the thing is, i am not really sure on how to proceed with reflashing the ROMs. tried reading the quides but there are some things i don't understand.
Well if you want to flash a rom you'll need to figure out which SPL your phone uses, see if it's flashable. Here's a list of the SPLs for the Magic. And Here's the guide I would fallow to do the ROM Flash and backup.
Clinton
thanks..reading up and i am starting to understand a little. will try it out later. downloading the files now (SDK,recovery,ROM)

Hi,
The daldroid rom from the links below works fine for the malaysia version of magic.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523680
hengsin, are you malaysian too? care to trade stories or help guide me?
as for rom, i am trying out *ION for TW MAGIC users (based on nk02's first release of ION rom)
edit :
i can't seem to get past getting root. when i am in fastboot and i want to create a nandroid backup or apply the update, i keep getting Can't mount SD card error.

Yes, I'm. I afraid I can offer very limited help as I don't own a magic, just helping my wife to get her full access to all google services.
I guess as long as adb and fastboot works well on your laptop, thing should be pretty straightforward. As a precaution, don't try rom that 've no positive feedback from other forum user or if you are not sure whether it is for your model ( there are 2 version of magic - pvt32a and pvt32b, the malaysia version is pvt32a ). Finally, flashing radio and spl could be dangerous, definitely not for beginner.

Low

Fews more things to add:
* the daldroid rom include both google services and microsoft exchange client. note that some of the rom out there doesn't include the htc exchange client.
* you will have to manually enter apn ( for 3g access ) after you flash your phone so do note your current apn setting down.
* backup your current rom using nandroid before flash
* a tricky thing here is the sdcard doesn't immediately comes online when you fastboot your phone, sometime u have to wait for a minute.
* the first boot after flash is very slow, be patient ( read somewhere that can use adb logcat to monitor the progress, not sure but u can try ).
i see. that is probably why i can't get the backup to work. thanks. really helpful there.
I see, thanks for the info. i take the daldroid ROM then. having both google and exchange is good for future use. Do i need to reflash the the radio and spl if i take the daldroid ROM?
Success. managed to load dildroid ROM. all working so far
Thanks to aniteshj for suggesting the reflash. and ClintonH and Hengsin for the useful useful links.
and props to the tireless people behind the guides, the ROM, the fastboots. all of you rock.

Some apps are missing in my android market (even a free one)

guys need a quick help pls, I do not seems to able to search some apps on my DHD for e.g "imediashare"
while scanning the cr code also do not return the searched app on my market
iMediaShare mobile app for Android :: iMediaShare
but the same is able to be searched on my friend's desire z bought from UK
mine is indian DHD, can anyone who bought their DHD in india try to search this app and scan the cr cde in the link I gave and let me know if u are able to search it pls
and any reason why I am not able to search it...
Got the same problem. Seems that some operator sw versions are not "signed" or registered at Googles database. So some can "see" all apps and some not.
Try to install a free sw version or rom version. Maybe that helps...
what you mean by "free sw version or rom version"
No operator version. try 1.XX.405.X e.g.
mine is an unlocked DHD
What sw do you have on ur DHD?
With ulocked u mean unbranded?
even more frustrating...an app called "mobiesta" which is an indian app, even this is not getting searched in my DHD but same is searched from UK Desire Z
common who can explain this nonsense
I tried to find with my DHD the mentioned apps - with no succes.
But I figured that out before, that not all apps are visible for everyone...
The reason can be that there are different ROM versions and/or the developers has released the app with some country restrictions. E.G. only for Europe, or only for Germany Autria and Switzerland.
Thats why I asked for your ROM Version. If it is a ROM made for a Indian Carrier the DHD goes as an Indian-DHD to the market. The DZ has a UK ROm or a international ROM and is lockes in as a UK or International-DHD and will get other hits when searching the market...
The solution will be either to download the app via the DZ to your PC and install those apps than on your DHD (than you will have no update support) or to flash a UK or international ROM. Same country/provider version like on the mentioned DZ.
mine is indian rom version
can u tell me how to to download the app via the DZ to your PC and install those apps than on your DHD ?
You can try to copy the .apk file and run ist on your dhd in the same folder e.g.
Or try to download it with your pc and to copy it to your dhd...
or go to mobiesta website http://ld2.ciol.com/Gadgets/Applications/Mobiesta/1485/0/102707/Mobiesta.aspx
and follow their instructions...

I wanted to know if I install the app successfully in Desire Z via android market then how can I get its apk from Desire Z..in other words I wanted to know in which location apk is stored for installed applications in system folder ?
Ok...
I ve got no clue where in the DZ file system this .apk file is located.
Maybe you can find this out with a file explorer like astro or so...
sorry no idea...
did u search the DZ?
Have you tried market enabler?

You need to set up your apns, it is carrier specific.
You will need to contact your carrier and ask them for the APN.

I am not experienced so muchg with bricks unfortunately. Seems to be hard brick from what you said. Can you take it to AU shop? or are you outside Japan?
Try to look for info about normal (non-japanese) HTC One brick problems - they are 99% same phones - so it might help
Hi people. Nice to see some information about this phone.

What ROM did you use from the list in your first post? Can you confirm, that sd-card working.

Hi. I am now visiting relatives in Japan, and was thinking of changing my old Samsung Nexus S...
I like the quality of service here, and I guess I can buy a used keitai with much confidence.
So I was thinking about this one,as I can find it here for about 25.000 yens, but I am wondering if I will be able to use it normally abroad, with almost all the features.
For example, can you run the 4.2 rom in english ? is it convenient ? One-seg feature is exclusively for japan I guess, right ?
If you think there is another high quality phone that can be bought here, please advise :fingers-crossed:
Thanks.

hello,
I have this phone HTC J One (htll 22) and I use it everywhere in Europe witout problem. To answer your questions:
1) You can Run 4.2 Rom in English, French, German, Ukrainian and many other languages. You can swith to English easily via Menu>Language and Locale > English, to swith to other languages, you need MoreLocale app and root.
2) One-seg is Japan only. No other country has this type of waves.
3) You can wait for Samsung Galaxy s5 which is coming in 3-4 month (it will be quite expensive at first). Otherwise, i beleive HTC J One is the best phone on Japanese market right now. Maybe Nexus is worth a look.
4) Yes, you can buy a used phone from Yahoo auctions for about 25000 or you can buy from http://www.Zenmarket.jp, even if you are abroad. Also, I have a slightly used rooted and sim-unlocked spare phone (PM me if you are interested)
5) to use the phone abroad, you need S-OFF, Root, and Sim-unlock. it is a pain, but it can be done if you are familiar with ADB and other stuff.
6) Is it convenient? I did not like the BlinkFeed thing. So I installed another launcher. Otherwise, it is a great, durable, very good looking phone. I am not going to change it for now.
HTL22 Sim Card Not Detected
I have HTL22 (HTC J ONE) and I've followed this forum to unlock bootloader, install custom recovery, install custom mods, S-Off and all, but I've had problem with phone not detecting a sim card.
I've tried many custom roms, and none have worked and i even bought a sim unlock code from one of the websites, however I couldn't figure out how to put that in as the roms do not ask me to enter a code.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Are you in Japan? Did you buy your phone from auctions?
if answer to both questions is yes - you might be a victim of IMEI - lock by AU. This happense when the first owner of the phone is not paying for the phone, and thus phone becomes locked.
Your phone will work ust fine outside of Japan, but in Japan IMEI number is blacklisted. Changig IMEI in Japan is legal (unlike in many countries) but there is no easy way to change it. And it is not allowed to discuss methods for changing IMEI on this board

wow.. this is news to me.. i was planning to buy HTL22 or Sc-01F from Amazon.. After reading abt IMEI lock, i am rethinking again..
how can anyone know beforehand if the phone is IMEI locked or not??
1) ask the seller what is IMEI number. If they do not give you the number, most likely it is blocked already
2) when you have the number go to
https://au-cs0.kddi.com/FtHome
http://nw-restriction.nttdocomo.co.jp/search.php
https://ct11.my.softbank.jp/WBF/icv...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=79683988
3) input your IMEI in the search field and clik on CHECK (KAKUNIN)
4) if the result is ○ then no problem, if the result is △ There is a possiblility the phone will be blocked if the user stops paying the fees, and if the result is ×  - the phone is already blocked.
No news for 1.54 hboot? Im on Mexico and ther would be a lot of problems with duties to send and receive feom Japan.

I have not tried this yet but if your phone model is exactly the same as your brother, may be should install TWRP on your phone and your brother's phone, do a TWRP backup of your brother's phone and restore that TWRP backup in your own phone. I think this is a long and risky process. May be someone in this forum with more experience can provide the exact or accurate procedure.
Not worked how to install twrp yet.tried but dunno what to do with it.my phone is s off but not rooted.any ideas please.thanks

If you phone its S-OFF you can change CID and MEID and install any ruu from HTC Evo or HTC Bolt.
There is a topic on how to install twrp under developer.
